ITANAGAR: Arunachal Pradesh Women and Child Development Minister Dasanglu Pul held a series of strategic meetings with union ministers in the national capital on Thursday to accelerate key development projects focused on culture, tourism, and welfare schemes in the state.
Pul who is currently on a tour to the national capital, during a meeting with union Culture and Tourism minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, proposed the establishment of a regional cultural centre of the North East Zone Cultural Centre (NEZCC) at Jote, near here, intended to serve as a hub for preserving and promoting indigenous art, music, and traditions.
"We are committed to preserve and promote our rich cultural legacy. The centre at Jote will serve as a vibrant hub for indigenous art, music, and traditions," an official statement on Friday quoted Pul as saying. The minister also emphasized the need to upgrade multi-purpose cultural complexes (MPCCs) across the state to create more inclusive community spaces.
"Upgraded cultural complexes will provide inclusive spaces for youth and artisans to engage, perform, and grow," she pointed out.
The union minister assured full support from the Centre in implementing these proposals, expressing appreciation for the state's proactive cultural initiatives. Later in the day, Pul met union Women and Child Development Minister Annapurna Devi to review the implementation of central schemes in Arunachal Pradesh.
The discussion focused on infrastructure deficits, delivery bottlenecks, and coordination gaps affecting welfare programmes for women and children.
"The union minister was very receptive and appreciated Arunachal's progressive approach in empowering women and protecting child rights," Pul said.
